The interaction effects of FEN1 rs174538 polymorphism and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure on damage in exon 19 and 21 of EGFR gene in coke oven workers

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure and genetic susceptibility were conductive to genotoxic effects including gene damage, which can increase mutational probability. We aimed to explore the dose-effect associations of PAH exposure with damage of exons of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1), as well as their associations whether modified by Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) genotype. Two hundred eighty-eight coke oven male workers were recruited, and we detected the concentration of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OH-pyr) as PAH exposure biomarker in urine and examined base modification in exons of EGFR and BRCA1 respectively, and genotyped FEN1 rs174538 polymorphism in plasma. We found that the damage indexes of exon 19 and 21 of EGFR (EGFR-19 and EGFR-21) were both significantly associated with increased urinary 1-OH-pyr (both P_trend < 0.001). The levels of urinary 1-OH-pyr were both significantly associated with increased EGFR-19 and EGFR-21 in both smokers and nonsmokers (both P < 0.001). Additionally, we observed that the urinary 1-OH-pyr concentrations were linearly associated with both EGFR-19 and EGFR-21 only in rs174538 GA+AA genotype carriers (both P < 0.001). Moreover, FEN1rs rs174538 showed modifying effects on the associations of urinary 1-OH-pyr with EGFR-19 and EGFR-21 (both P_interaction < 0.05). Our findings revealed the linear dose-effect association between exon damage of EGFR and PAH exposure and highlight differences in genetic contributions to exon damage and have the potential to identify at-risk subpopulations who are susceptible to adverse health effects induced by PAH exposure.

Metal distribution characteristic of MSWI bottom ash in view of metal recovery

Bottom ash is the major by-product of municipal solid waste incineration(MSWI), and is often reused as an engineering material, such as road-base aggregate. However, some metals(especially aluminum) in bottom ash can react with water and generate gas that could cause expansion and failure of products containing the ash; these metals must be removed before the ash is utilized. The size distribution and the chemical speciation of metals in the bottom ash from two Chinese MSWI plants were examined in this study, and the recovery potential of metals from the ash was evaluated. The metal concentrations in these bottom ashes were lower than that generated in other developed countries. Specifically, the contents of Al,Fe, Cu and Zn were 18.9–29.2, 25.5–32.3, 0.7–1.0 and 1.6–2.5 g/kg, respectively. Moreover,44.9–57.0 wt.% of Al and 55.6–75.4 wt.% of Fe were distributed in bottom ash particles smaller than 5 mm. Similarly, 46.6–79.7 wt.% of Cu and 42.9–74.2 wt.% of Zn were concentrated in particles smaller than 3 mm. The Fe in the bottom ash mainly existed as hematite, and its chemical speciation was considered to limit the recovery efficiency of magnetic separation.     

饱和持水量条件下不同氮添加对森林土壤氮素净转化的影响

为了研究在饱和持水量条件下不同氮沉降形态和水平对森林土壤氮素净转化及土壤N₂O排放的影响,选取中亚热带地带性森林红壤为研究对象,采用室内模拟试验方法,设置110%饱和持水量（WHC）的土壤水分,添加不同形态氮[（NH₄）₂SO₄、NaNO₃、NH₄NO₃]和不同含量[0 mg/kg（CK）、20.0 mg/kg（LN）、66.7 mg/kg（HN）,以干土计]的氮素,进行为期14 d的室内培养（20℃）.结果表明,与CK相比,（NH₄）₂SO₄和NaNO₃处理对土壤净氮矿化和氨化的影响不大,而（NH₄）₂SO₄处理的净硝化量在高氮水平下为负值,说明硝化很弱,但该处理的净氨化量高于其他处理,特别是NaNO₃处理的净氨化量较高,认为很可能存在NO₃--N异化还原为铵（DNRA）.NaNO₃处理能显著提高土壤净硝化量而显著降低w（SON）（SON为土壤可溶性有机氮）,NH₄NO₃处理同时降低了土壤w（NH₄+-N）和w（NO₃--N）,表现为氮固定作用,并且高氮水平的土壤w（MBN）（MBN为微生物量氮）显著高于低氮水平;NaNO₃和NH₄NO₃处理的土壤N₂O排放速率和培养周期内的累积排放量均显著高于CK,并且高氮水平显著高于低氮水平,而（NH₄）₂SO₄处理与CK相当,并且高氮水平下的N₂O累积排放量低于低氮水平.研究显示,在过饱和土壤水分条件下,混合形态氮对土壤氮素净转化格局影响较大,含NO₃-形态氮明显促进土壤N₂O的排放,尤其是高氮水平.研究结果可为评价全球气候变化下特别是降雨情况下沉降氮形态对土壤氮素转化的影响提供重要参考.
